Have you recompiled using the 2.2.1 header files? This is what removed any
oddities for me. I have no idea if this will take care of your problems
however.
BTW I'm using the diald 0.16.5 source rpm from http://juanjox.linuxhq.com
(already patched for 2.2.1)

I've not seen that problem but I'm not usually on for very long.

linux/Documentation/Changes:

SMBfs
=====
To mount SMB (Samba / Windows) shares, you'll need to use the
smbmount utility included with release 2.0 of Samba.
Documentation/filesystems/smbfs.txt has more information about this.
Note that smbmount must have been built against 2.2 headers to work
with 2.2; if all else fails, recompile it and hope it works ;-). In
addition, Mike Warfield has a script and some information at
http://www.wittsend.com/mhw/smbmount.html that you will probably find
useful.
-
Because it's not exactly clear, "rpm -e smbfs" (or rename the files) then
you need to get a source rpm of Samba 2 and add "--with-smbmount" to the
configure line in the spec file. or modify the source code yourself.
("rpm --rebuild" will not work since smbmount is not installed by default)
I can supply the spec file I used if it's of any help. I haven't checked to
make sure it uninstalls properly so I won't supply a binary rpm.
Hope this helps,
Lourdes
